Love this place. Open it up again and let’s build on the culture of Madison, not benefit a few wealthy property developers.

If Madison is truly proud of its heritage, we must preserve it. Generic suburbia is all too common, and what makes a town unique is its commitment to its own uniqueness and sense of community. Public spaces most definitely represent such commitment. Generic retail space is not, can not, and will not be the same.

Please keep our downtown historic district intact. It's one of the things in Madison that make our wonderful town unique. Don't destroy the small town look and feel of this great place. Thank you!

Madison needs this! As someone who was raised in Madison and come from a multi-generational Morris county family, and have lived in multiple cities and towns since - when returning to Madison to visit family I realize how little culturally Madison has to offer. Drew University is an oasis, however, with the closing of the only downtown movie theater and not a lot else going on, reviving the historic Madison Movie Theater would be a massive add to the town's offerings. It would be amazing for it to take on a non-profit model rather than be turned into a cookie-cutter Lowes or AMC theater. Theaters such as the Brattle Theater in Cambridge, MA and the Castro Theater in San Francisco are great models of sustainable theaters that offer a wider variety of programming with appeal to a large audience, and have become a destination for film lovers from all around. Save Madison's downtown from the monotony of generic architecture, the destruction of history and culture, and housing projects that create expensive rental and ownership opportunities that really only benefit the owners and the politicians that received a little something to help grease the wheels. Please look towards making Madison even better!

What a travesty to allow the developer to build another apartment building which will add to the destruction of small town life. We need to maintain the character of Madison including the movvie theater and an arts center.

As I lam a fifth generation Madison resident, I would like to hold on to this very important piece of Madison history. This building has meant quite a bit to me and family members past and present. Our town was voted one of the quaintest towns in New Jersey and that is because of our rich history, Madison's hard work from our town workers, plus our fire and police department and emergency squad all add to this safe and beautifull enironment. The Threatre is located for many of the Madison residents to just walk to,or for of town people to just hop the train, to see a movie. Let's keep Madison rich in history with the ascetics it deserves! Please save the Madison movie theatre and our building history!

Wonderful opportunity to keep an important, historical building true to its original function. We do not need six apartments!

My husband, son and I are Madison Residents for over seven years . My son saw his first movie at this Theater. Over the years we enjoyed going to the Madison theater monthly. Save the Madison Theater! Not only does it have history, but it has memories for my son and I.
